Spring Hill Man Named Suspect in Louisville Triple Homicide Taken into Custody in Pinellas County Friday Evening
Here is the latest from the Louisville Metro Police Department in their update Monday, January 15, 2018.
Christopher Olivo, age 46 of Spring Hill, Florida was apprehended Friday evening in Pinellas County after being named a suspect in a triple homicide in Louisville, Kentucky earlier in the day.
The Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) Homicide Unit coordinated with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and authorities in Hernando County to locate Olivo.
It was at approximately 10 p.m. on Friday, January 12, 2018, when Pinellas County Deputies and other local law enforcement from the Violent Crime Task Force (VCTF) prepared to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle being driven by Olivo that was traveling southbound on US-19 on the Ulmerton Road overpass.
OnStar technology assisted in slowing and eventually disabling the 2015 Chevy Cruze once officers and the Sheriff’s Office helicopter were in position above the location.
Olivo was taken into custody. Deputies say that when VCTF deputies arrested Olivo, he was wearing a ballistic vest and had an AK47 assault rifle on the passenger seat of his vehicle. The AK47 was not the weapon used in murders according to police.
Olivo’s 2 year-old daughter who was listed as missing was recovered safely. She was located in Hernando County and is currently with relatives.
Olivo shot and killed his girlfriend, 39 year-old Geneva Miles, her brother Michael Miles (27), and wife Catherine Miles (24). The Miles’ two children were found uninjured in the home and in their cribs. They had a 4 year-old son and 2 year-old daughter. The two children are being taken care of by family members.
